Pan what to paint with?

aircooled4life · #1 February 23rd 2007, 02:17

you should rhino line (or other truck bed liner) the whole pan. some of the brands are kinda expensive but there are so brands that you can paint on yourself or you can take it to a place that does it proffessionally and have them spray it.

it may make your car a little heaver but you will never have to worry about rust and it may help with sound deadining.

Just make sure ALL signs of rust are gone before putting on bedliner material. It helps stop future rust, but does nothing for existing rust. Again, this is where the Eastwood encapusaltor comes in handy. It converts, and seals exsisting rust (like POR 15).

I use rustbullet, after using POR15 it is similar but much less fussy with prep..

Epoxy.
Cheap layer of paint (to be sure to have an water-tight layer)
Bodyschutz
Top layer of good paint

I did mine with rust bullet. Less prep work than por-15.

A good metal primer, then a couple of coats of enamel will be fine for a driver. Make sure you do your prep-work for any of these methods you choose.

Powder coating would be a waste unless this is some kind of high dollar custom, that was being paid for by the powder-coating company.

We are doing an Oval for a customer and had the pan powdercoated grey and the beam and al other parts black. total was $700. I have some pix of the pan built up and it looks real nice.

Thats about the price that I was thinking (I've had PC work done before).

$700. is a lot of $$$ to me (when there are options under/near $100).
